Beretta 950 Jetfire

The Beretta 950 Jetfire is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by Beretta since 1953. It builds on a long line of small and compact pocket pistols manufactured by Beretta for self-defense. Based on very early Beretta models, the weapon is intended to be a very simple and reliable pocket pistol.

Simple and small, very easy to conceal. Last resort pistol. Inexpensive, very easy to maintain. Well built, able to be reliably fired very quickly, magazine swap reload is fast and simple. .25 ACP is a centerfire cartridge, which in many circumstances has been shown to be less prone to misfire than the rimfire .22 cartridge, a type used by other holdout pistols of similar size.
The flip top design helps the user to check to see if a round is chambered and can be chambered but not cocked. It can be very easily worn in an ankle holster. The 9 shot capacity (8 round magazine + 1 chambered) gives it sufficient fire power. If rounds are placed well, then it makes up for the small caliber.

The traditional .25 ACP cartridge is not very powerful, though still potentially lethal. The safety system is very basic. The accuracy of the pistol is only adequate at short ranges.
Its small grip makes it prone to bite (the slide can cut the top of the shooters hand when fired)
